Guardian: The members of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are purveyors of doom. Their report, looking at the impact on the global way of life of increases in average temperatures of 2C or more over the pre-industrial average, is no easy read. But after the past few months of weather floods in the UK, drought in California and extreme blizzards in New York its message will only be disregarded by the most sceptical of sceptics (stand up Tony Abbott, prime minister of Australia).

Conversation: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) Impacts volume of the Fifth Assessment Report will be released today. Here, three contributors to the health chapter explain the ideas and evidence behind the report. The consequences of human-driven global climate change as this century progresses will be wide-ranging. Yet public discussion has focused narrowly on a largely spurious debate about the basic science and on the risks to property, iconic species and ecosystems, jobs, the GDP and...
